Mavric Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 From the Updates thread: Here's what I've gathered from what media guys are saying: WR: Saw a top 6 of: PiersonEl, Westy, Reilly, Moore, Hovey, Tolbert. Saw Irons was hot and cold. Said Allen, Burtch, Gladney struggled. About what most would have guessed, except that I would expect Burtch to work his way up. I'm very interested in Tolbert. I think he could be our next Enunwa. So I like to see this: Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 Just saw another report that Irons speed is "as advertised". He can fly. I would say he's at least as fast as DPE although perhaps not as shifty. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 It seemed like last spring Alonzo Moore was noted as making a highlight-reel catch every practice. It obviously didn't translate to game. Moore is up to his old tricks already this spring. Hopefully the results are better this year. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I think DPE will have a unique role with a set of plays and variations that they will use a couple times per quarter. Plays to get him the ball quick and go. Looking back at last year, guys not named Bell and Westerkamp were in a position to make plays because of the attention those two received. I like DPE's athleticism and playmaking ability, but still not sure he translates into solid #2 role. Isn't he like 5'8 or something? Would think he is more of wingback/3rd receiver down field. Having said all that, I just don't know who else would be a reliable #2 read from the list. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 I would think Burtch would be a natural choice as he's a bigger guy with speed that would compliment Westerkamp's possession role and DPEs speed. Reilly would be similar. And Tolbert should be a red zone monster after some development. Moore seems to have the tools but I'm not sure if he's going to be able to put it all together.

admo Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Sounds about right. Maybe even spread it out to Cethan Carter and other tight ends as well. Quote Link to comment
Treand3 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 DPE has a lot of Brandin Cooks in him. Quote Link to comment

If we are hoping that that the likes of Burtch or Reilly as LEGIT #2 Wr's we are not that strong at WR. I keep hearing every one say we are so deep at WR but I refuse to see it. Other then Weterkamp and DPE wh have not 1 proven solid guy in my opinion. Quote Link to comment
